Women Making History - New York Times - Women Making History

From the 20,000 women who participated in 1912's Suffrage March along 5th Avenue (""a wonderful spectacle"") to first female Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's first day in 1981 (""she suffers fools gracefully""), the history of the women's movement is rich with stories and significant progress?as well as disappointments. (For instance, the 19th Amendment, which passed in 1920, only technically gave all female U.S. citizens the right to vote; in reality, Indigenous and Black Americans of both genders were very often prevented from exercising that right for many decades afterward.) This coffee table book celebrates those who dared to stand for equal rights through a collection of New York Times articles, which begins with the Equal Rights Convention in 1866 and ends with the Time's Up movement in 2018. The cover features an image from Washington D.C.'s women's march, where, in the crowd of hundreds of thousands, ""mothers marched with daughters and granddaughters,"" wrote the Times, ""whole families, including husbands and sons, marched arm in arm."" Introduction written by New York Times Gender Issues Editor Susan Chira. Made in Williston, Vermont.
